Background
LACMTA's Art Department was created in 1989 under the predecessor agency, Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD).
Working to incorporate public art in transportation projects, the department was involved in the design of stations along
the heavy and light rail transit lines, dedicating 0.05% of rail construction costs specifically to art.
